Crowned with the title, “Queen of J-Pop”, selling albums has never been an issue for Ayumi Hamasaki. But the ‘Queen’ has her eyes set on a loftier goal – to shatter the record for the most #1 singles sold on the Oricon chart, and she’s enlisted the help of a certain ‘Prince’ to make her dream come true.
JaeJoong was approached by the star to appear in a PV for her previously released single, ‘blossom’, and he commented, “Ayumi Hamasaki is a big senior in my record label, so when I received the offer to appear in her PV, I was really happy. Although I feel a lot of pressure, I’ll try to do it perfectly!”
Prior to the release of the news, ‘crossroads’ ranked at 156th on the Amazon Japan site. Official statements revealing JaeJoong’s PV involvement were released on the 27th, and 24 hours later, the album’s sales had skyrocketed to land in the 5th position overall.
Could this be a coincidence? The rise is too sudden and too extreme to shrug off.
The PV is included exclusively on the ‘crossroads’ CD+DVD package which is scheduled to be released next month on September 22nd.
